The Piano Guys have some really sweet videos, and I just had to post this one since it's been making rounds across the 'net.

[JamminR]

Though fun, and I've seen the not-so-classical stuff like Cello Wars in various places including Wimp, for some reason, I'm just not big on it.
Don't get me wrong.. I grew up loving Star Wars as a kid, I just don't like the way they've done it.
I've always been impressed with other covers and classical duet arrangements they've done however.

Oh, and as some of you know and some don't, some may not care but I know some do, I am Christian.
Jesus is my Lord and Savior.
That being said, I don't watch sports, and until yesterday, had no idea who Tim Tebow was.

I found this video which I found entertaining - http://wimp.com/timtebow/

I then find out that not only has he made fans, he's made enemies and critics because he prays in public during games, or at least did once in a picture that's being spread/talked about everywhere.
I'm not interested in politics, but I thank God and Jesus that he prays in public.
I've not really researched to even know if he's praying to my Savior, which I hope he is.
One important fact here though.. I praise Tim for his conviction.
I am NOT offended if he's praying to a false god other than the one I know. (Though pray for him)
I'm TIRED of people playing 'politically correct' games..get over it. If you're Christian, great. God loves you.
If you're NOT Christian, then don't be offended that I am and openly admit it. I'm not that you might not be. My God still loves you and we both pray for you.

</end soapbox... praise Tim for his convictions ... enjoy fun video http://wimp.com/timtebow/ >

I agree, America is overly politically correct. One of the reasons for this, I think, is too many people get away with insane lawsuits, and it's just slowly crippling the country, no one can mind their own business anymore, everyones become so tender and get upset about things that don't even concern them, it's weird. How can people get so offended by ones beliefs, or their own personal actions that hurt/ involve no one else.

Now, on to real entertainment.

I still have tears in my eyes due to this one. I had to pause/rewind a few times I was laughing so hard I missed some bits.

Oh, and it figures.
I see this 5 minutes later.

Try not to...I dare you, try not to laugh, especially after watching the first vid.

[krooks]

haha that first one is sooo funny!
Also the second one, the guy who gets on, I'm pretty sure he's just thinking everyone's laughing at him! hahaha

Ok, in my old out of touch venacular, this is just awesome.
Watch the whole thing, but they really start jamming at ~1:38

Dude! AmIRight?
Also, their Youtube channel has some fun stuff.
Found this fun and quirky and artisticly well done.

EDIT- Oh Geezzzz...seems just about everything they do, even covers, is done in a 'switch instruments/musicians/positions mid-stride' style.
FUN!

EDIT2 - HAHAHAHAHA!
They 'fixed' Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO

Alex, I'll take song mashups made from classic movies for $1000;

I've always been amazed at the talent audio artists have at mixing music.
Even using helpful applications (many exist, I know, I've looked at some).

I like even more when an audio artist can go visual...and the following explains it visually very well.

In case anyone looking over this thread didn't know, I believe dump.com to be a 'related' site to wimp.com.
Wimp.com often includes framed pages of dump.com videos.

Juggling has always amazed me.
Before loss of much of my peripheral vision, I'd taught myself to juggle while in the clown ministry of my Church.
Two other jugglers and I would do various pass juggles/hand off juggles, and of course, just fun interesting tricks.
Mostly involving round objects. Though they learned clubs/pins, I never got the large objects, but was good with the small round items.
(Sorry, no chainsaws or knives here)
[/end personal]
I've seen many various "contact" Jugglers. Contact juggling involves contact with spheres/pens/any item through hand/body contact.
I love a good act of contact juggling.
Though I'm sure there's some of this guy's act missing from the video, he does a good job of drawing a crowd, involving some of them in it.
Overall, good performance, in my opinion.

Enjoy. http://www.dump.com/2012/01/28/contact-juggling-video/

[JamminR]

And now time for something completely different -

The first time I saw contact juggling I was really amazed by it, this guy really had a good performance.
Also, instruments made out of random objects are always a good thing haha

[JamminR]

Though I like many forms of electronica, I dislike DubStep; at least, when it has no accompaniment.
That is, if I don't see a GOOD dancer matching the music, or some other special effect to the music, I just don't appreciate it.
It requires a good counterpart.

I found a nice non-human counterpart.
Though the video is an edit, I feel it is artistically well done.

Wouldn't it be cool if the high intensity lights they show could actually cycle that fast?
